Now you can see that it is already taking place. ⁶

¹ tn Heb “Siege ramps have come up to the city to capture it.”

² tn Heb “sword.”

³ tn Heb “The Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for further explanation.

⁴ tn Heb “And the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it because of the sword, starvation, and disease.” The verb “has been given” is one of those perfects that view the action as good as done (the perfect of certainty or prophetic perfect).

⁵ tn The word “Lord” is not in the text but is supplied in the translation as a reminder that it is he who is being addressed.

⁶ tn Heb “And what you said has happened and behold you see it.”

⁷ tn Heb “in the sea [was] your way.”

⁸ tn Heb “and your paths [were] in the mighty waters.”

⁹ tn Heb “and your footprints were not known.”

¹⁰ sn The Lord’s throne symbolizes his kingship.

¹¹ tn Grk “answered and said to him.”

¹² tn Grk “You do not know.”

¹³ tn Grk “you will know.”
